Windsor Park is the postwar neighborhood in northeast Austin bounded by 51st Street, I-35, US 290, and Manor Road, about eleven miles south of Pflugerville and six miles from downtown. The houses are 1950s and early 1960s ranch homes on slabs and low piers, with original cast-iron drain lines, galvanized supply lines in some, and seventy-year-old live oaks whose roots have found most of them. Mueller sits across the street to the west, and Bartholomew District Park's 57 acres anchor the middle of the neighborhood.
Tannehill Branch runs through Windsor Park on its way to Boggy Creek, and the low lots along it have flooded more than once. The clay here is the same Blackland soil as Pflugerville, and a slab poured in 1955 has moved a great deal since.
We route Windsor Park homeowners to an independent local water damage provider by phone. Meter readings, not guesses, set the scope.
A pinhole in seventy-year-old copper or galvanized pipe under the slab is a slab leak detection call, and the crew will want to know whether the house has been repiped. A cast-iron drain that finally rusted through under the kitchen is a water extraction job first. A garage that took Tannehill Branch water is creek flood cleanup, and porous materials come out.
The Windsor Park Neighborhood Association keeps the neighborhood's boundaries, parks, and history in one place, and its members are usually the first to know which streets along the creek went under in the last storm. Windsor Park is inside Austin, so rebuild permits go through the city's development services desk.
Call (512) 855-6202 and say whether the house is on a slab or piers. An independent local water damage provider serving Windsor Park takes it from there.
Water pumped and vacuumed off slab floors, tile, and carpet in a Pflugerville house, then every room metered to see how far it traveled.
Dehumidifiers and air movers run against Blackland Prairie humidity until drywall, cabinet bases, and subfloor read dry on the meter.
A warm tile, a cupped hallway floor, or a meter that spins with every tap closed traced to the slab line before any concrete opens.
Ceilings, walls, and floors soaked when an attic or garage line split in a February freeze, pumped out and dried once the valve is off.
Gilleland or Wilbarger Creek water and street runoff pulled out of a garage or ground floor, soaked materials removed, and the house dried.
An attic or garage tank that let go and the insulation, ceiling, and flooring it soaked on the way down, dried and documented.
A stained or sagging ceiling under an upstairs bath, an attic air handler, or a drain pan, opened only where the readings say wet.
Wet attic insulation, ceilings, and walls dried after hail, a spring downpour, or wind found a gap in a Pflugerville roof.
